I’m the one on the far right in that photo. You comment was interesting in that I was a roadie for another SF band in the '60s and '70s, and we did quite a few shows with The Dead. I’ve smoked a joint with Jerry Garcia and gone mountain biking with Bob Weir. I met my longtime friend and former business partner Gary Fisher at the Dead office in 1971.

My book on the subject of the article will hit the shelves in a few weeks. It will be called “Fat Tire Flyer.”
